Light & Life

I see flatblocks of lightsAnd imagine the fightsHusbands and wivesLeading interesting livesPlaces of workWhere dark denizens lurkAnd places of playWhere safe children stay

I see through the windowsAnd see what is on showInto kitchens and bathroomsWith cleaners and fast broomsI stare at the couplesEntwined with their cupfulsOf cocoa or HorlicksCurled up on the carpet

Or snuggled togetherSofa cushions of featherAnd now I see moreAs I race by I'm sureTenements and tenementsDivided by means of fenceTheir appearance so familiarTheir contents so very near

These people togetherCouples living foreverSafe in their universeOf loneliness a banished curseBut now my train speeds me onPast happy couples by the millionVery soon I'll be back at homeAnd unlike them, once more alone.

About Me

known by several as a roundabout type of person, but not always seen when believed...has heeded the ides of March and feels all the better for it. It is not true about the Spaniels, but there is some truth in the thing with the gloves!
